Buckshot Tree Stands
Few Questions about Hog Hunting.?
I plan to go Hog Hunting this Thanksgiving and would like to know some information about such.
1. What's the most effective firearm against Hogs? Shotguns are Rifles?
2. If shotguns, would a 12-gauge buckshot work?
2a. If rifles, would a .223 be fine?
3. What's the most effective way to hunt Hog?(Tree-stand, etc)
4. Is there a bag-limit on hogs if they are considered a nuisance?(Texas and Louis.)
5. Are hogs dangerous even if dealt with properly and maturely?
Thanks in Advance.
1. Depends how you are going to hunt, when I am in the scrub I use my lever action 44remington magnum, but when I am chasing them In an open paddock I use my 12 gauge.
2. Yes defiantly, either 00 or 000. I use Winchester buckshot 00
3. Not at all, get a 12gauge or 44mag lever action.Do not use a 223 as you would need a very good shot, the 44mag or 12 buckshot will give you piece of mind when hunting Also if a hog runs at you, you want something that will drop it on the spot even if it is running at you.
4. Don't know, I hunt hogs in Australia and here you can shoot how many you want, whenever you want
5. Yes, they can kill you easily with their tusks-razor sharp, don't wait and look at one, shoot as soon and you see one. If one starts running a you shoot at it straight away, if you are near a car or bike go into it and drive away. Their tusks can rip you to pieces.
Good luck mate. I hunt with a Marlin 44mag and a Single barrel 12gauge.
